Its work begins once raw internet data is captured and available in the Adform environment. The group’s processing mechanisms transform raw data into augmented, valuable information, which is stored in Vertica and HDFS. Several development teams operate within the group, each focused on building microservices that handle real-time data. These services support various domains such as DMP, Reporting, Algo, and Research. The Engineering Manager role in Big Data oversees two of these teams.\nThe manager is accountable for people management, delivery of development outcomes, and stakeholder alignment. The Engineering Manager works closely with Product Managers and the Product Director to coordinate delivery against the product roadmap, and with Architects to ensure teams understand and align with the agreed technical direction and requirements.
